Climate Unity: We are all in this together, one world for us all

This workshop will provide ideas and inspiration for you to develop artwork that can contribute to a digital art exhibition (virtual and possibly physical) with and by Hampshire schools and in your own school. It will also enable you to communicate your school’s message and to raise awareness about climate change, unity, stewardship, and environmental issues.

This year we invite you and your school to create artwork responding to your Climate Crisis conversations, to be used in our digital exhibition. The challenge is to create headwear embodying messages about climate concerns. Please use materials of your choice.
